Does anyone else think the new magic staff mentioned is grossly underpowered? It is designed to be a viable weapon to slay with but the max hit is less than half that of a whip and casting speed is slower by 2 ticks. These two factors, combined with a relatively high cast cast when compared with slayer dart (a similar spell by the sounds of it) mean I don't see the staff having any real applicability.

Magic needs a weapon that can hit at the same speed as a whip if you truly want magic to have any use for slayer, attack speed is critical to dps and part of the reason why magic lags behind melee is that spells are cast so slowly. A magic weapon with the same speed (6, 2.4second intervals) as a whip/sara sword/zam hasta etc and a max hit of 30-40 would be significantly more comparable, especially if it can't be used in Pvp.

Totally agree, I would say a max hit of 35-40 even, although only for pvm though.

Considering a player with a whip can hit 54s at 2.4 second intervals, this magic weapon needs significant buffing if it is to have any use for Slayer. Although part of the problem with magic is the fact that stat boosting prayers don't actually boost damage, only accuracy.

Im extremely diappointed about the first question

Question: Would you like us to upgrade the Wilderness to the basic level as featured in the latest developer blog called “Rejuvenating the wilderness 2”?

--

I am for about 50% of the updates from that dev blog, and against like 50%. If it's bulked as once question I'll be forced to have to vote no which would be sad because I liked quite a few of the updates, but didn't like a lot of others.

I implore you to split each section into a different question on the Rejuvenating the wilderness section. I'd hate to have to vote no when I like a handful of ideas there.

There are a lot of questions in this poll already and we felt that everything in the basic upgrade has been well received so we wanted to bundle them together.

I don't know about a majority but between my friends and clan, I got the idea that quite a few didn't like some updates, but loved others. I had some friends who loved 4 of the proposed updates, but hated the other 10 or so that there is.

I would just hate to have to vote no because it's easier to bulk them together. There is a lot of updates proposed in each and I'm sure most people are against at the very least 1 or 2. I'd love to have to option to vote for which updates I wanted than be offered a sort of package deal.

For those of you who are worried that the new shields are a bit OP, what stats would you like to see on them?

the green shield needs to be a bit darker...possibly Guthix green look at the one I made on twitter.
Support, please darken blue shade of the magic shield as well. magic already looks good imo, green should be a little bit darker though it blends in too good with green dhide etc.

I saved the model i made of the obby shield, but not the color code...but i think I used the guthix Robe color Mod Michelle gave me a while back.

I agree the blue one is fine, the green one needs to be a different shade of green.

Obby shield for all 3 classes is fine and because of defenders it's not a popular shield anymore, but I wonder if the varrock guard shields are usable models? I based my Elite Dragon kite shield concept of that shield...could be used for a different project.
